SCHOOL SANITATION 

Is a Necessity Not a Luxury 



Several of the Southern States have passed laws within the last two or three 
years requiring the use of Disinfectants in some form in ihtu Schools. Notably Texas 
and Louisiana. 

The State of Louisiana requires a certain percentage of Carbolic Acid in Floor 
Dressings. 

The State of Texas says you must not use feather dusters in Public Buildings. 

What's the good in sweeping or dusting if you move the Dust from one place 
and allow it to fall on another? 

There is hardly a newspaper or monthly issued without some reference to 
Sanitary Work, either schools, city or private. 

Have you heard of the Louisiana Health Train? It goes from place to 
place with able men aboard to educate the people in Sanitary Affairs. 

Every school teacher should give simple talks on Health Laws — Sanitary Liv- 
ing. Encourage the scholars to take an interest in these things. Proper baths, care 
of the teeth, the dangers of spitting, and the public drinking cups. 

A clean body stimulates a clean mind. 

Children spend at least a half day, the greater part of the year, in the School 
Room, and should be protected — if it does cost a few dollars. 

The only question to consider is — 

fVhat to do to get the best results at a legitimate cost. 



SCHOOL ROOM SANITATION 



FLOORS 

DUST is the most important thing to control. A good many forms of Disease 
Germs are conveyed by Dust. The most common is the dreaded Consumption Germ 
(Tubercle bacilli). 

The only practical method to prevent Dust is to hold it with an Oil Dressing. 
This Dressing should be "Antiseptic." It will not cost much more, and is 
far safer to use. 

Cheap Floor Oils are poor economy. They not only make sticky, greasy floors, 
but contain no germ destroying agents. 

Buy the best. They cost very little more at first and prove cheaper in the end. 

With a proper dressing the floors can be swept without sprinkling or covering 
everything with Dust. 

A good dressing prolongs the life of the floor and gives it a finished, clean ap- 
pearance. 

SAW DUST or SWEEPING COMPOUNDS are better to use than nothing 
at all. It keeps the dust down while sweeping, making it pleasant for the janitor, but 
they offer no protection in holding the dust during the day, when the scholars are pres- 
ent, and as a rule contain no germ killing agents. 



SCHOOL ROOM SANITATION 

DESKS— Wood-work. | 

Wipe these ofif every morning with a moist cloth. 
Don't allow feather dusters to be used. 

At least once a week the Desks and all Wood-work should be thoroughly cleaned 
with a cloth wet with a solution of some reliable Disinfectant. 

WATER TOILETS : i 

Need disinfecting each day after school with a strong germ killing solution. 
After cleaning thoroughly, leave the bowl full of the solution. 
Closet Drip machines are good only as deodorizers. 

DRY TOILETS: 

If an outside dry closet is used it should be sprinkled with a reliable POW- 
DER DISINFECTANT every day. 

Closet contents must be removed at least once a week, 

CHLORINATED LIME, when fresh, is reliable, but it loses strength rapidly 
when exposed to the air, and is rather expensive. 

SLACKED LIME is not a GERM destroyer, 

FLIES : 

Are now called TYPHOID FLIES, 

They are dangerous — unsanitary — a menace to health. 

If you see a FLY there is FILTH nearby. 

They breed only in refuse vegetable or animal matter and prefer the manure 

pile. 

Stables ought not to be permitted near School Property, 

MOSQUITOES: 

Breed only in STAGNANT WATER, 

All vessels holding water should be emptied once a week or screened,

A Simple Method for Fumigating after Contagious 

and Infectious Diseases. 



FIRST — Prepare the room by opening all closet doors and drawers, hang bed- 
ding and garments on chairs. Arrange everything in the room, so that it is readily 
exposed to the Formaldehyde Gas. Seal all windows, doors and cracks with special 
sealing paper or chink with cotton or cloths. 

When this is done, put fourteen ounces of Permanganate of Potash in a vessel 
(pan or pail) with the capacity of not less than eight quarts, then pour OVER this, 
one quart of Formaldehyde (40 per cent.) and immediately close the room, as the 
chemical reaction takes place rapidly. 

CAUTION — Be sure and place the Permanganate in the vessel first and pour 
the Formaldehyde ON it. 

The above proportions are for a room of ordinary size, not over 2,000 cubic 
feet. 

The gas by this process comes off with great rapidity and it is not necessary to 
keep the room closed as long as in the case of the older methods. Complete disin- 
fection takes place in four to six hours. This method is advised for the reason, it acts 
more quickly and there is no danger of fire. 

It is advisable to place the pan in a larger one or on a piece of oil cloth to 
prevent the bubbling over of the solution on the carpet or floor. 

There is some heat generated, but no fire. 

NOTICE — The above chemicals are put up by us in cases holding 24 packages of 
Permanganate and 24 quart bottles of Formaydehyde (40 per cent). Just 
dump the carton in a pan or pail and pour the bottle of Formaydehyde on it. 
No trouble. Most convenient and inexpensive method of fumigating. 

Every CITY, every INSTITUTION, should keep a case of these materials on 
hand for emergencies. Write for prices. Orders shipped promptly.
